Gullouglu is a Turkish pastry chain, founded in 1871 and specializing in honey-drenched baklavas made with goat and sheep butter. Among the 14 variations, you can cop the familiar product made with pistachios or walnuts, but why not try one of the other pastries like su boregi peynirili, which hides layers of wobbly pasta between the flaky filo layers, or bosnak buregi, a tubular pie stuffed with potato or ground lamb. The woody and elegant interior is a great place to while away an hour or two, and Gulluoglu also offers egg breakfasts, Turkish and American coffees, and dozens of types of Turkish delight.
